This lad would offer two options. We can long if needed but he is a presence both for that and is quality with a ball at his feet. It's him or costa for me.
Our strikers not being very good and our midfield being just as bad is very frustrating but not only that our decision making on the counter is even more worrying. We have a 3 on 2 and we still choose the wrong option when the right one is so blatant. This is what separated the best team from the teams on the cusps of things. We aren't talking a difficult choice or a hard pass, a basic five yard ball and BANG!!! the right choice and right ball and it's in, but we play the wrong ball 90 percent of the time and that is where we fall down as much as the whole package. This is something taught from an early age.
the clinical cutting edge just isn't there, when that goes you may as well give up. That goes for our front men and midfield, it is simply not good enough.
If I was in charge of him I would have him running at defenders instead of constantly slowing play down. He is a much better player when he gets at people and we look very dangerous when he does that.
Now don't come it with you tongue in cheek comments, I said shall I go on meaning the whole team not just Eto'o He was shite today, as were all of them.
That penalty can go either way, if it's us we want it, if it's them we claim it wasn't. The big picture is, today we were not good enough, Ref or no ref.
I'm in the 50/50 camp for the penalty decision, but the fact of the matter is we shouldn't of been talking about it because once again we where lacking and sloppy. This race is run, we just have to fucking get our heads up.
Erm lets look closer to home as to why we lost this game…….Has anyone seen that vibrant brazilian they call Oscar? That striker who has an edge called Eto'o? Shall I go on? Fucking disgrace from start to finish, could tell it was going this way because we couldn't pass a basic ball. Rui Faria you should be fucking ashamed of yourself, and that goes for the team in this game…..fucking embarrassing.
